Yuko Ota's Blog, page 57

It's true

Trust me on this one!!

Just wanted to mention that Yuko's been posting some neat stuff over at her Tumblr! 

If you wanted to grab some JW stuff for the holidays, here's a link to the store! Holiday deadlines are here. And there are JW keychains, earrings and more over at Hey Chickadee! 

The blogposts have been brief because we're getting everything ready for Kickstarter fulfillment and (more generally speaking) next year! Have a good weekend, we'll catch you next week!

MYSTERY TIME

Usually the cat just smells like cat, so we took some time to get to the bottom of this mystery!! And that's what happened. NEXT MYSTERY

Nothing new to report for the time being! As I mentioned the last time, if you'd like to get some JW stuff for the holidays, check out our store on Topatoco! And if you like jewelry and keychains, Hey Chickadee has some good stuff too. 

Thanks for reading guys! Catch you next time. 

Witches!!

A witch!! Or twins. Two witches??

If you wanted to get any JW stuff in time for Christmas, now is the time to grab something from the store! The holiday cutoff dates are here. And there are some cute JW keychains and charms over at Hey Chickadee! as well!

It's been a mega busy couple of weeks and for once I don't have anything to report! We're just keeping our heads down and working as quick as we can. 

Have a good weekend! Catch you next time. 

Kickstarter is over!

The Kickstarter is over! Thanks for picking up the latest book! We'll keep you guys posted on the progress via some posts here and backer updates over at Kickstarter. 

We got a few e-mails about this so I wanted to note: Your account may not have been charged yet because it can take up to 2 weeks to process Kickstarter payments. So don't worry! You can read more about that and other concerns you might have in the Kickstarter Basic FAQ. 

We've got a lot of work to do to keep everything running smoothly, so we'll catch you Thursday! Have a good one!
